Sargent & Greenleaf, Rochester, New York - 2 movements
Model #3 was introduced in 1877 shortly after #2 as a more compact version of their two movement time lock. Model #3 was later known as model #6205. A. Model #3 with 72 hour dials and rarer door without a cut out for glass . This type of door was used where coin bags could smash into a conventional glass door. Spotted pattern case. Another solid door lock illustrating the crystalline pattern. Case and bolt #1306, movement #1286. file 12 B. Same model #3 as the one above it but with the more conventional glass door. Notice the original Sargent & Greenleaf stenciling on the glass. This particular lock has survived in nearly mint condition.. Case #1664, movement #1638. file 64 C. Model #3. 1877. An earlier version with rarer 46 hour dials in black, top movement plate damascened with S&G's traditional 'grape leaf' design and a screwed on square plate for the bolt hole bushing (picture C1) instead of the round bezel found on all later versions. This version was produced for a short period of time after the initial introduction of this model. Note the similarity of dials and case design (hinges, red painted interior) with the Model #2 here. Another unusual feature is the matching movement and case numbers. Over the years, most of the movements had been swapped out of their cases for servicing making matching numbers between case and movement very rare. In later years the movement numbers often did not match the case numbers as they left the factory, but were reasonable close. One of three known with these early design features. Case #11, movement #11. file 49 D. Model #3. c. 1880's. Same as above 'C' but in a left hand hinged door design. Nearly all time locks in the S&G line could be ordered in left or right handed designs depending on the safe's configuration. This lock is a bit later in the production run and it lacks the grape leaf damascene on the top plate. The case is earlier than the movement and still has the screwed on square plate for the bolt hole bushing (picture C1). Picture #D1 shows the rear movement plate covered with over 20 signatures of service personnel; the earliest from February 22, 1886 to the last in 1950. Case#45, movement #131. file 85 E. Model #3A. c. mid 1880's. This is a rare version of the model #3 using the same dual movement as found in the more common #3 models but in a smaller case; excluding the normal bolt works. The lock was designed to sit on top of a separate automatic bolt opener. (Bolt release lever missing). This was a brief transitional design therefor few were made and very few survive.
